Entry Requirements
O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Biology include the following:
- Five (5) SSCE credit passes to include English Language, Biology, Chemistry, and Maths/Physics
Four of the five places are accounted for, with Mathematics and Physics counting as one slot between them. The fifth credit carries no stated restriction.
That alternative is useful for candidates whose school did not offer a full science timetable, since only one of the two is needed.
JAMB UTME Subject Combination
Candidates will write the following Four (4) Subjects in JAMB
- English Language
- Biology
- Chemistry
- Physics or Mathematics
The JAMB combination repeats the credit list exactly, keeping the same choice between Physics and Mathematics for the fourth paper. Biology and Chemistry remain fixed.
Direct Entry Requirement
These are the conditions you need to fulfill to gain Direct Entry admission to study Biology if you don’t intend to use UTME. You require;
- Two ‘A’ level passes from Chemistry, Biology, Botany/Zoology.
- NCE is accepted with at least a merit-level pass.
Direct Entry introduces Botany and Zoology as alternatives to Biology, neither of which appears earlier. An NCE at merit level is accepted in place of the A Level passes.
JAMB Score
All candidates interested in getting admitted into UNICROSS for the 2026/2027 session should know that to be eligible for the screening, you must have scored 140 or above in your JAMB result.
One Slot for Physics or Mathematics at UNICROSS Biology
Biology and Chemistry are required at O Level, in JAMB and among the A Level passes at Direct Entry. They are the two subjects this department never compromises on.
Physics and Mathematics share a single place on both of the first two lists, so only one is needed. Decide which you are stronger in, then clear 140 in JAMB for the 2026/2027 session.
